Protest Results
Car 30 - Drive Through Penalty - Causing a Collision (Lap 1 - T14-16)
Car 88 - Drive Through Penalty - Causing a Collision (Lap 4 - T16)
The stewards re-reviewed this incident and decided to increase the penalty from a warning to a drive through penalty. The warning is then rescinded and the new penalty above put in place.
That is not how this works. There is no such thing as a counter protest. You are welcome to protest the incident also but we ask for a BRIEF description as it is down to the stewards to decide what happened. This is not a discussion thread.
Due to the above, your 'counter' protest is null & void and will not be considered. Please be aware that repeating such type of protest may result in penalties (see NDR Sporting Code May 2020 Article XI.1.4).
Should the stewards wish to ask for additional info, they will ask for it. A protest needs to be what, where and when. Not the why and how.

8. Race Start:
Each race will have one unscored formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.
During griding for race 1, the pole sitter will be asked what side of of the grid they would like to start from. This side will be used for both races. All other drivers should file in accordingly.
The safety car will reduce speed on the exit of turn 9. All drivers should be forming into the double file formation. The safety car will pull off just before the start of the pit lane wall. The leader and all other drivers should maintain a steady speed up until the green flag signal is given. At which point overtaking is permitted.
In the event of an aborted start, drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. The race director will then instruct drivers if there are any changes to this.
9. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 9 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
The race director has the discretion to operate a safety car wave around procedure as documented in the regulations.
10. End of Race
After finishing each race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to the pit lane. The top 3 shall report to the start/finish line.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
11. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.
You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.
If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
